Hello everyone!

Guess what I have finally made…. a T-Shirt for my Hubby!!! This week i have been fighting a throat infection and yesterday was the first day i was feeling actually human and wasn’t worn out by the simplistic tasks so I thought well I wanna sew but didn’t fancy anything too complicated as my brain wasn’t functioning properly still LOL

I raided my stash of fabric and found the lovely 2 way stretch Jersey that I had purchased from B & M Fabrics in Leeds here’s their face book page earlier on this year and for some reason i never got round to using until now!

I have used the most simplest pattern of a men’s t-shirt ever from Fashion with Fabric book  from The Great British Sewing I just couldn’t believe the ease of it and how well it came together so quickly as to say its my first attempt using Jersey I am really pleased the result it has came out like a proper t-shirt! I did had visions of the collar being wonky or I didn’t get the sleeves the right length but following the instructions from the book and tweaking the pattern slightly to add more lentgh to the t-shirt as my hubby is not a fan of t-shirts that try to escape when raising his arms LOL!

As you can tell Mr K doesn’t like his photo being taken! Bless him!

So with this pattern I had used:

1.5m of 60″ wide 2 way stretch jersey and Plenty of pins also not forgetting the thread which i went for a lighter colour for some contrast on the T-Shirt.

In reality it was about the same price as you buy a t-shirt in the shop but with it being handmade it’s a better quality!

So if you haven’t had chance to look at the Fashion with Fabric TGBSB it’s a Def must as it is such a great beginners book and explains everything so well.

See i can sew for other people for a change…I’m not that Selfish….hahahaha!

Happy Sunday!

Yes! My 1st project from the Great British Sewing Bee Fashion with Fabric It’s the Sleeveless Shell top, I was quite surprised of how easy this was to put together and how good it looks for a 1st attempt! I love how it hangs especially the scoop back if i was to make it again i would probably lengthen the front as i do like my tops to be a bit longer, I’ll know for next time. No fiddly zips either just a button closure which is just fab!
I’ve used Light Blue Polycotton with a cute Heart print which i thought would be perfect for the coming summer months teamed up with a pair of smart shorts and sandals so roll on summer!!
Please excuse the no make up photo, I’ve been to the Gym and showered and couldn’t be bothered to put any on today LOL!
